■
ESSENTIAL PRECAUTIONS
Never use Cuisinart
®
Chef's Classic Color Series Stainless Cookware
on high heat. Food will burn. The aluminum encapsulated base
makes this cookware highly conductive and eficient for quick, even
heat distribution. We recommend using a low to medium setting for
most cooking. To boil water, medium-high is suficient. High heat
and/or extended lame may cause discoloration to the color of
the cookware. Any discoloration will not affect the cookware's
performance. Never leave Cuisinart
®
Cookware or any pan empty
over a hot burner. Doing so can ruin the pan and cause damage to the
stovetop. Never leave cookware on the stovetop unattended. Cookware
that overheats or boils dry may begin to decompose and melt, resulting
in damage to your stovetop or cookware and/or creating a risk of
personal injury. If cookware overheats, do not remove from the stovetop
immediately. Turn off the heat and allow the cookware to cool naturally
before removing from the stovetop.
■
BEFORE USING
Wash your new cookware in hot water with a mild soap or dish
detergent, or in a dishwasher, before using for the irst time. Rinse
thoroughly and wipe dry immediately with a soft dishtowel, or you may
place your Cuisinart
®
Chef's Classic Stainless Color Series cookware in a
dishwasher.
■
EASY MAINTENANCE
Immediately after each use, ill the pan with hot water and liquid dish
detergent; let stand until lukewarm. Use a sponge or soft cloth to remove
any remaining food particles. Do not use steel wool or other metal pads
that make coarse scratches. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately
for a lawless inish. Cuisinart
®
Chef's Classic Stainless Color Series
features oven-safe handles that can withstand oven temperatures up
to 500°F. Glass lids are oven-safe to 350°F only. Caution should be used
when handling any cookware handles, and we recommend the use of
potholders.
■
WHAT ABOUT THE DISHWASHER?
Cuisinart
®
Chef's Classic Stainless Color Series is dishwasher safe, but
remember that soil from other dishes may be abrasive. If the dishwasher
is carelessly packed, other dishes or latware may mar the surface of the
cookware. Over a long period, regular dishwasher cleaning will eventually
scratch any cookware but will not affect its safety or performance. We
recommend using a non-lemon detergent.
■
WHAT ABOUT METAL UTENSILS?
We recommend using plastic or wooden utensils with your Cuisinart
®
Chef's Classic Stainless Color Series Cookware. You may prefer using
metal utensils. These may scratch the cooking surface, but will in no
way impair the performance of your Cuisinart
®
Chef's Classic Stainless
Cookware. You may use a hand mixer with metal beaters which
can scratch the interior surface but will not impair the cookware’s
performance or its durability.
■
TO REMOVE STAINS
Calcium in your water may leave a multicolored stain. This is from a
harmless deposit and can be removed with a little warm vinegar. Certain
foods such as pasta or oatmeal may leave a light residue or cloudy
appearance. This can be easily removed with any of these cleaning
products: Bon Ami
®
, Cameo
®
Stainless Steel or Metal Cleaner, Nevr-Dull
®
.
■
TO REMOVE STUBBORN RESIDUE
When food is burned in the pan, a stubborn black residue may remain. If
soaking does not loosen it, add water to a depth of one inch in the pan,
then add a tablespoon of dishwasher detergent (a non-lemon product).
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Let cool in the
pan, then drain and rinse. Loosen the residue with a sponge or plastic
spatula. Repeat if necessary.
■
TO REMOVE BURNER STAINS
Stains on the outside bottom (not sides) of pans can be removed with an
oven cleaner. Follow the manufacturer’s directions and spray or brush
the cleaner on only the outside bottom of the pan. If the directions call
for using the cleaner in a warm oven, heat the pan before applying the
cleaner. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
CAUTION: Detergent fumes can be irritating. Carry out this
procedure under a hood with an exhaust fan or in a
well-ventilated room.
■
ENERGY-EFFICIENT COOKING
Safe for all stovetops (gas, electric, halogen, ceramic, glass top, and
induction). Select a burner size that matches the diameter of the bottom
of the pan. When cooking over a gas burner, make certain that the lame
touches only the bottom of the pan. If the lame extends up the sides of
the pan, energy is wasted.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Cuisinart®Classic Stainless Steel Cookware has
exceptionally high thermoconductivity, and even a low setting on
some gas burners will overheat or even burn foods, such as thinly
sliced onions. An inexpensive gas “lame-tamer” placed between the
burner and the bottom of the pot solves this problem. Flame-tamers
are readily available at most hardware stores.
■
COOKING ON A GLASS STOVETOP
To avoid scratching a glass cooktop, do not slide cookware on the glass
surface. Consult your glass cooktop manual for information and recom-
mendations on use.
■
FOR USE ON INDUCTION STOVETOPS
Please consult your induction stovetop manual for information on
use. Please always center the cooking vessel on the burner for optimal
performance.
■
COOKING OVER A GAS BURNER
When cooking over a gas burner, make certain the lame touches only the pan
bottom. If the lame comes up the sides of the pan, energy is wasted and the
sides of the pan may become permanently discolored.

■
COOKING TEMPERATURE IN OVEN
Cuisinart
®
Chef's Classic Stainless Color Series Cookware can be used in
the oven without damage. Naturally, the handle as well as the pan will
become hot. Use potholders to prevent burns. The cookware can be used
in the oven at any baking temperature up to 500°F and can go from burner
to oven to table when placed on a heat-resistant trivet. Glass lids are oven-
safe to 350°F only.
■
TO BREAK A VACUUM SEAL
The uniquely designed rims and covers form a perfect it to reduce the
evaporation of liquids. If you leave the cover on after turning the heat
down or off, a partial vacuum may form which will seal the lid to the pan.
To break the seal, turn on the heat for a few moments, and the cover will
come off easily. If you don’t want the lid to seal to the pan, remove the
cover or set it slightly ajar before turning off the heat.
■
CONVENIENT STORAGE
A cookware rack or pegboard for your Cuisinart
®
Chef's Classic Stainless
Color Series Cookware provides convenient, safe storage. Stacking and
crowding in cabinets or drawers may cause scratches.

CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS ONLY
California residents need only supply proof of purchase and should
call 1-800-726-0190 for shipping instructions. California law provides that
for In-Warranty Service, California residents have the option of returning
a nonconforming product (a) to the store where it was purchased or (b)
to another retail store that sells Cuisinart products of the same type. The
retail store shall then, according to its preference, either repair the product,
refer the consumer to an independent repair facility, replace the product,
or refund the purchase price less the amount directly attributable to the
consumer’s prior usage of the product. If the above two options do not
result in the appropriate relief to the consumer, the consumer may then
take the product to an independent repair facility if service or repair can
be economically accomplished. Cuisinart, and not the consumer, will be
responsible for the reasonable cost of such service, repair, replacement or
refund for nonconforming products under warranty.
California residents may also, according to their preference, return
nonconforming products directly to Cuisinart for repair, or if necessary,
replacement, by calling our Customer Service Center toll-free at
1-800-726-0190. Cuisinart will be responsible for the cost of the repair,
replacement, and shipping and handling for such nonconforming products
under warranty.
